Sans Faceted Abnos 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Expedition' by Aerotype, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Bananku' and 'Neisson' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

This is a heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp facets. Forms are largely rectangular and modular, with consistent stroke thickness and compact internal counters that stay open enough for display use. The lowercase echoes the same blocky construction, creating a uniform texture, while the numerals keep the same cut-corner logic for a cohesive set.
It suits logos, esports and gaming titles, sci‑fi or tech-themed posters, packaging, and headline typography where a bold, angular voice is desired. It can also work for UI labels, badges, and signage in contexts that benefit from a strong, industrial aesthetic, especially when set with generous spacing.
The font projects a tough, engineered confidence with a distinctly angular, game-like energy. Its hard corners and clipped geometry give it a pragmatic, no-nonsense tone that feels modern, technical, and slightly aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified, faceted geometry and sturdy stroke weight. By relying on chamfers and straight segments instead of curves, it aims for a consistent, machinic look that remains legible at larger sizes and in bold, high-contrast layouts.
The rhythm is strongly rectilinear, with repeated cut-corner motifs across capitals, lowercase, and digits, which helps the typeface feel unified. Apertures and counters tend toward squared shapes, reinforcing the faceted theme and producing a dense, sturdy color in text.
